Runing Program

Well I am just getting started with C++ and I am having a
problem. I created a very simple program and when I try to
compile it I receive this message

Cannot compile the file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\MyProjects\Gabriel\Text1.txt'; no compile tool is
associated with the file extension.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

When using the compiler, your file extension should be either '.C' or
'.CPP'. It appears that you are attempting to compile a text file. Change
your file type.

Hello Gabriel,

You'd better create a new project and save its source files w/ .CPP
extension.
Your current problem is that you're trying to perform an action on .txt file
which won't be handled w/ the compiler (it expects cpp extension).
